Abstract: To investigate the relationship between inhibitory control ability and the continued influence effect of misinformation and the variables of information relevance that influence this relationship, 135 participants in the age range of 18～25 years were recruited voluntarily to participate in the experiment through advertising on university campuses. This study grouped participants using an experimental task that directly measured the inhibitory ability of individuals, and further distinguished the relevance of the experimental materials in the CIEM paradigm. The results found that differences in individual inhibitory ability led to differences in misinformation retraction, with the high inhibitory ability group being able to retract the previous misinformation better, while the retraction effect of the low inhibitory ability group varied with the degree of information relevance. The results suggest that the failure of the inhibitory process is also based on the differences in the information relevance. The findings provide more direct experimental evidence for the theory of retrieval failure of the CIEM and further refine it. It provides a support and reference for the correction process of knowledge in education and teaching.

Key words: misinformation, inhibition ability, relevance, individual differences, college students
